Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
1Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
1Quando chegou a noite, os servos de Holofernes se apressaram em sair. Bagoas fechou a tenda pelo lado de fora e dispensou os que serviam diante de seu senhor. Todos foram para suas camas, pois estavam cansados porque o banquete havia se prolongado.
2And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holofernes lying alone upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.
2Judite ficou sozinha na tenda com Holofernes, que estava caído sobre a cama, embriagado de vinho.
3Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
3Judite havia dito à sua serva que permanecesse do lado de fora do quarto e esperasse que ela saísse, como fazia todos os dias, pois havia dito que sairia para orar. Também havia falado a Bagoas da mesma maneira.
4So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
4Todos se retiraram da presença dela, e ninguém, pequeno ou grande, ficou no quarto. Judite, em pé junto à cama de Holofernes, disse em seu coração: “Ó Senhor, Deus de todo poder, olha nesta hora para a obra de minhas mãos, para a exaltação de Jerusalém.
5For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.
5Pois este é o momento de ajudar tua herança e de realizar aquilo que planejei para destruir os inimigos que se levantaram contra nós.”
6Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes’ head, and took down his fauchion from thence,
6Ela foi até a coluna da cama que ficava junto à cabeça de Holofernes e tirou dali a espada dele.
7And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.
7Aproximou-se da cama, agarrou-o pelos cabelos e disse: “Fortalece-me hoje, ó Senhor, Deus de Israel.”
8And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him.
8Então golpeou o pescoço dele duas vezes com toda a sua força e cortou-lhe a cabeça.
9And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;
9Fez o corpo dele rolar da cama e tirou o dossel das colunas. Pouco depois saiu e entregou a cabeça de Holofernes à sua serva,
10And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.
10que a colocou na sacola de alimentos. As duas saíram juntas para orar, conforme seu costume. Atravessaram o acampamento, contornaram o vale, subiram a montanha de Betúlia e chegaram aos portões da cidade.
11Then said Judith afar off, to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.
11De longe, Judite disse aos guardas dos portões: “Abram! Abram o portão agora! Deus está conosco, o nosso Deus, para manifestar ainda seu poder em Israel e sua força contra o inimigo, como fez neste dia.”
12Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.
12Quando os homens da cidade ouviram a voz dela, correram para descer ao portão da cidade e convocaram os anciãos.
13And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.
13Todos correram juntos, pequenos e grandes, pois lhes parecia inacreditável que ela tivesse voltado. Abriram o portão, receberam as duas, acenderam uma fogueira para iluminar e as cercaram.
14Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.
14Judite lhes disse em alta voz: “Louvem a Deus! Louvem-no! Louvem a Deus, que não retirou sua misericórdia da casa de Israel, mas nesta noite destruiu nossos inimigos por minha mão!”
15So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.
15Então tirou a cabeça da sacola, mostrou-a e disse: “Vejam! Esta é a cabeça de Holofernes, comandante-chefe do exército de Assur, e este é o dossel sob o qual ele estava deitado em sua embriaguez. O Senhor o feriu pela mão de uma mulher.
16As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.
16Tão certo como vive o Senhor, que me protegeu no caminho por onde andei, minha aparência o enganou para sua destruição; mas ele não cometeu pecado comigo, nem me profanou ou desonrou.”
17Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.
17Todo o povo ficou extremamente admirado, prostrou-se, adorou a Deus e disse em uníssono: “Bendito és tu, ó nosso Deus, que neste dia humilhaste os inimigos de teu povo.”
18Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.
18Ozias lhe disse: “Bendita seja você, filha, diante do Deus Altíssimo, mais do que todas as mulheres sobre a terra; e bendito seja o Senhor Deus, que criou os céus e a terra e a conduziu para cortar a cabeça do chefe de nossos inimigos.
19For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.
19A esperança que você demonstrou jamais desaparecerá do coração dos que se lembrarem para sempre do poder de Deus.
20And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.
20Que Deus transforme tudo isso em louvor eterno para você e a visite com coisas boas, porque você não poupou a própria vida diante da aflição de nosso povo, mas impediu nossa ruína, andando em retidão diante de nosso Deus.” E todo o povo disse: “Amém! Amém!”
